All4 App / Walter Presents - Cold Summer - set in the early 90s, and in a beautiful location.
It's not a fast moving action packed program, but it's beautifully shot, written and acted, 9/10 from me.
It was filmed in 2023, and is from book 1 of a 3 part trilogy, so dearly hoping for 2 more.........

Agreed about L'estate fredda. Having holidayed in Puglia, including Bari, last year it was nice to see familiar locations.

I keep an eye on RAIplay.it for upcoming series that Walter might show, but sadly there's no sign of any sequel (yet). I'm told by my Italian teacher that the novels are also a great read, with several (including The Cold Summer) available in English translation.

As it happens, I watched another Italian film also starring Alessio Boni at the weekend, this time playing Enrico Piaggio, the industrialist responsible for the original Vespa.

For fruit based viewing:
Your friends and neighbours is hitting the right tone in a 'modern life is rubbish even if you're loaded' way.
Also, if you've ever had to work with software developers, Mythic Quest is so much on point for seasons 1 and 2. After that it's dross and has been cancelled.
Shrinking season 1 is good. Season 2 doesn't really know what to do with itself.
Has anyone watched For all mankind season 3? After the season 2 finale I had too many concerns about where it was headed (into soapland, I feared).
